I am a football coach who wants to power a 47 inch TV on the sidelines for replays. Realistically, how long do you think I could get out of this?

This unit is not strong enough to power a TV that big. I tried it on a 22" Vizio TV rated at 105 watts and the TV would not turn on because of the high surge current it requires when you first turn it on. A 19" Sansui TV rated at 55 watts came on and worked fine though.

I have a 42" LG LCD TV in my office, so I connected it to the power bank. The TV would not turn on, and the power bank started beeping, which leads me to think it isn't strong enough for a large display. It did power up a 20" LG LCD TV. I'll let it run for a while to see how long it will power it, and then reply. Update...I was able to run the 20" LCD TV (sound muted) for an hour and 20 mins before the power bank ran out of juice.

I have done the same about 10 or 15 feet away from my TV I am not sure and it works fine but then again I wasn't gaming with it. it comes with a kind of extension cable though that would close the distance a bit if needed

if the base of your tv is less than 47 inch's shound work fine. will over power the looks of the stand, just my opion.

I wouldn't mess with it. Send it back if you can. Mine worked a few days then ,it went out .I tryed to contact them about it ,but got nothing.Until they make it right with me , I will deffinatelly not get another one.O yes the answer (TV to tv,Power to power block,Antenna to ant ),thats it.

I suppose you can put it as far away as the wire will support. It does need to be plugged into the TV.

hey man bottom line go bigger that 120mhz is a gimmick I have this tv, you will NOT go wrong with the 46". Believe me! I had the same debacle as you. 46" is the way to go

No problem. During an outage in March 2012, I powered our churches ministry center and food pantry. We had hear, lights, water from our well and kept 4 freezers operating. Shouldn,t be any problem with a large screen tv and computer and lights. It should keep a whole house going.

I am considering ordering a 7" tv to listen at work. I think I will be able to turn it around so the picture will not show.

It will last as long as any plug, but there is a trick to it. At times you get a screen that says you have a resolution problem, just unplug it and plug it in again and it should work.

Mine lasts just under 3 hours. I use it during power outages where I connect a 40inch TV and decoder. This is not bad if you do not want to miss a match or an important news item

No! Trust me! That is why I wrote what I did, this is going backwards in time... This goes from RCA in to Coax out, so you are taking a more modern device and putting it on a very old TV or whatever. What you want they have, keep looking, but this isn't it... In other words, you could actually put a dvd player on a TV from the 1970's (providing you split the 75ohm to 300ohm) If you aren't old enough this may not make any sense.

I use it to record my daughter's softball games and I can get about 3 hours out of it. That's stopping and starting it a lot during that time.

30 min. is about right for the included battery. You will want to purchase a larger, higher capacity battery. With the large battery, I have no problem recording an entire football game (>2.5 hrs powered up, >1.5 hrs recording time). They include only the small battery to keep the price competitive. I don't know why this bothers people so much because it is pervasive in consumer products. You need at least one spare battery anyway, and you will pay for it either way. More annoying is the system that prevents generic batteries from working properly (they won't charge when connected to the camera and the camera can't guage their charge/time remaining). 30 min. is about right for the included battery.

Run a power signal amplifier up to 20 - 30 feet downstream from the antenna. You can then run 2 - 75 foot coax from the amplifier with no signal loss. Better ones have two out to TV connections and a lit power on indicator. Trick is to adjust the antenna position for maximum reception. The powered signal amp will make all the difference. Expect to pay 60.00 dollars and up for a decent amp. If you post the question I will tell you which model and where to buy. I'm talking pro equipment.

I'm going to assume it's a standard 120v television, so you will have to power an inverter to get the 12v DC up to 120v AC. You have some loss in that process.The basic math is battery voltage x battery Ah so 12x35=420 wh. watt hours. That will run 420 watts for 1 hour, 210 watts for 2 hours etc. In theory. But you never want to drain your batteries below a certain point. I've been warned not to discharge batteries more than 50%. Plus the loss from the inverter, lines etc. You would be looking at 6 batteries just for this simple math not even taking into account the discharge factor. If I'm wrong on any of this someone please point it out. I'm going to assume it's a standard 120v television, so you will have to power an inverter to get the 12v DC up to 120v AC.

I bought the Football and Baseball devices for my parents. The company discontinued broadcasting the Baseball scores, so the thing became a paperweight. Not sure about football. My bet is that the company did not sell enough of these cool devices to make business sense. Good luck.

Thanks, Stan! Yeah, I've since checked w/ my local building dept. and it's definitely a no-no to run any AC power cord inside of a wall in any size, shape or form. Period. Will try adding a receptacle behind the TV because I loathe any kind of visible conduit, however discreet it might look. Hopefully, one of the two existing receptacles in the area are the last on a line. Otherwise, I think I'd have to bring an electrician into the picture. [Groan!]
